PRINCESS MONICA
PRINCESS MONICA WAS THE ONLY DUGHTER OF KING SMIALY II.
WHEN SHE WAS OF AGE TO MARRY, THE KING SENT OUT INVITATIONS
TO SUITORS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. BUT TO WIN THE HAND OF
HIS DAUGHTER, THE HOPEFUL SUITOR FIRST HAD A DIFFICULT
TEST TO PASS.
THE TEST WAS TO RIDE HORSEBACK AROUND THE CASTLE. THE
CASTLE WAS LOCATED ON TOP OF A VERY STEEP MOUNTAIN WITH
A DEEP MOAT BELOW. PRINCESS MONICA AND KING SMIALY
WATCHED AS CHOSEN NOBLE AFTER CHOSEN NOBLE PERISHED
UNTIL THE REMAINING SUITORS REFUSED THE TEST AND FLED.
GLOOM FILLED THE KING. PRINCESS MONICA WAS ANGRY AT HER
FATHER FOR USING HER TO OBTAIN A STRONG AND BRAVE KING
FOR POLAND. JUST BEFORE HER MARRIAGE HOPES DIED, IN
RODE A FAIR-HAIRED KNIGHT. THAT EVENING, THE KING
WOOED THE KNIGHT WITH FOOD AND DRINK WHILE PRINCESS
MONICA FASCINATED HIM WITH HER BEAUTY.
THE NEXT DAY, THE KING TOLD THE KNIGHT OF THE TEST.
WITHOUT HESITATION, THE KNIGHT MOUNTED HIS HORSE AND
SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH THE KING'S DEMAND.
PRINCESS MONICA LOOKED WITH FASCINATION AS THE BRAVE
KNIGHT NEARLY STUMBLED TO HIS DEATH AND GRAVE. BUT THE
KNIGHT PASSED THE TEST AND EMERGED AMONGST SHOUTS AND
CHEERS. THE KNIGHT DID NOT DISMOUNT. HE REJECTED
EVERYTHING THE KING OFFERED HIM INCLUDING THE PRINCESS.
THE KNIGHT RODE AWAY.
AFTER THE KING DIED, FIGHTING BETWEEN NOBLES TOOK PLACE.
FINALLY, A BRAVE KNIGHT LOYAL TO THE THRONE CRUSHED
REBELLING NOBLES. THE PEOPLE WISHED HIM TO BE THE NEW
KING.
THOUGH NO ONE REMEMBERED HIM AS ANY MORE THAN A KNIGHT,
PRINCESS MONICA RECALLED HIM AS THE ONLY MAN TO PASS HER
FATHER'S TEST.

THE THREE SPARKS
ONCE UPON A TIME, GOD HAD NOTHING TO DO, AND HE
ENCOUNTERED THREE SPARKS WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO.
HE TALKED TO THEM AND TOLD THEM TO GO OUT AND
PROVE THEIR WORTH.
THE FIRST SPARK FLUNG ITSELF AT A DRY FOREST AND
CREATED A MONSTROUS FIRE. IT DID SO TO PROVE TO GOD
THE GREAT POWER OF GOD'S CREATION.
THE SECOND SPARK SAW AN ENEMY CAMP MOBILIZING FOR AN
ATTACK. THE SPARK SET FIRE TO THE POWDER STORES
AND MUNITIONS FORCING THE ENEMY TO RETURN TO THEIR
HOMELAND.
THE THIRD SPARK NOTICED A MOTHER AND HER SON VERY COLD
ON CHRISTMAS EVE WITH NO FIRE TO KINDLE THEIR DRY
TWIGS. THE SPARK GAVE ITSELF TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE
FROM THE COLD.
GOD BANISHED THE FIRST AND SECOND SPARKS, BUT THE
THIRD SPARK, HE PUT AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

THE FOUNDING OF KRAKOW
ONCE THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT OF PEOPLE ON THE VISTULA RIVER NEAR
THE FOOT OF THE KARPATH MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER, THERE ALSO LIVED A
DRAGON IN A CAVE (CALLED THE JASKINIA). EVERY DAY HE WOULD COME
TO THE SETTLEMENT AND SWALLOW SOME SHEEP, AND THEN GO TO THE
VISTULA TO WASH HIS MEAL DOWN AND BACK TO HIS JASKINIA TO SLEEP.
THE PEOPLE WERE ANGRY--ESPECIALLY THE SHEPHERDS AND NOBLEMEN.
THE SHEPHERDS AND THE PEOPLE OFFERED REWARDS OF ALL SORTS TO
ANYONE WHO COULD KILL THE DRAGON. MANY GLORY-SEEKING NOBLEMEN
TRIED, BUT WERE CRUSHED. THEN A SHOEMAKER NAMED KRAKUS STEPPED
FORWARD. HE KILLED A SHEEP, GUTTED IT, AND STUFFED IT WITH
SULPHUR. THE FOLLOWING DAY KRAKUS WATCHED THE DRAGON COME FROM
HIS JASKINIA AND IN HIS PATH KRAKUS PLACED THE SHEEP.
THE DRAGON SWALLOWED THE SHEEP WITH ONE GULP AND CONTINUED AFTER
MORE SHEEP. HOWEVER, THE DRAGON FELT A BURNING THIRST AND RUSHED
TO THE VISTULA RIVER. THERE THE DRAGON DRANK AND DRANK, NOT BEING
ABLE TO QUENCH HIS THIRST. HE CONTINUED DRINKING. FINALLY, THE
DRAGON BURST AND DIED.
KRAKUS WAS HAILED BY THE PEOPLE AND MADE THE CHIEF OF THE SETTLE-
MENT. THEY TOOK HIS NAME AND DUBBED THE SETTLEMENT KRAKOW, OR THE
PEOPLE OF KRAKOW.
